Let’s say you have to maximize your chances when betting for an endgame result at a match between two teams.
You should generally bet 1-0, if a team is slightly better than the other. 2-0 for a clear advantage. Rarely 3-0, just for when there’s a huge difference of value. You should only bet equal (0-0; rarer – 1-1) when the odds are rather equal.
Have a look at:
They claim to allow searching on a website with good speed and advanced algorithms.
It can be difficult, even for a small website, to show all the right possibilities to write a word.
It would also help if the search would know similar terms (synonyms), and display the most relevant products first.
The integration of an artificial intelligence solution may be relevant.
43 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.” (Matthew 12:43-46 NIV)
The devil learns from its mistakes, becomes better.
A fallen angel? Yes, but still interested in winning and becoming better. Seven times better.
Got to notice its perseverance.
Microsoft Office has been available for years.
In the past years, a lot of Internet users use the Google Drive suite.
Why do I prefer Microsoft’s version?
Yes, it lacks a lot on the collaborative part. Also, check spelling on Google Docs is better, due to add-ons such as Grammarly.
Why doesn’t Google increase the size of meta descriptions displayed? Why 160 characters or fewer?
A theory I have: because, although Google wants to take as much of the content as possible of the websites they encounter, they risk being sued by site owners. I expect the length will stay the same for quite a while from now.
I liked the dialogue between Alex Michaelides and Nadine Vlădescu (Litera Anniversary Days, 2021 edition).
Există o știre (Tot mai mulți bogați își cumpără avioane. În 2021, zborurile private au înregistrat o creştere de aproape 60% – Stirileprotv.ro) conform căreia:
La nivel mondial, zborurile private au înregistrat o creştere de aproape 60 de procente în 2021, faţă de anul precedent.
Mie îmi e tot mai clar că există două lumi – lumea oamenilor foarte bogați, și lumea clasei medii/a celei de jos.
Îți cumperi avion ca să nu ai de-a face cu oameni săraci.
E o metodă de protecție și de izolare – “Sunt în lumea mea, nimic nu mă afectează”.
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” ― Helen Keller, The Open Door
I like to eat healthily, I tend to work when needed, I try and sleep a lot (on purpose).
About being a maniac: that’s how I am, that’s my nature, for better or worse, in passion and success.
I’m not proud of it, I try to control it, but, yes, I’m a bit of a nerd/maniac.
Sometimes, during a presentation (for example, a PowerPoint slideshow), the presenter wants to state: “OK, this is a self-promotion”.
The thing is, as far as I can tell, most presentations try and sell you something.
It might be something obvious (“We talk about the product, you’ll get the hint to buy it, even if it’s not explicit”), but even in the cases where’s no explicit sale, there is generally something being sold – the image of the presenter posing an expert.
If a person is on a stage and speaks to you about matter X, you’ll likely consider that person a professional/expert, and you’re more likely to buy their services.
The prisoner’s dilemma is a standard example of a game analyzed in game theory that shows why two completely rational individuals might not cooperate, even if it appears that it is in their best interests to do so. (Prisoner’s dilemma – Wikipedia)
And, also, have a look at this article (it’s a tough reading): A fragment on courage and stupidity which I like a lot. It’s all about freedom – Blog de Olivian Breda.
I think you can only be free when you don’t take into account the risks you’re put into, and act for the greater good.
To me, the prisoner’s dilemma really exists due to the fact that we, as a species, are weak – we need a state of comfort of the mind.
Had we been free, it would have been easier.
